Migrate is an movement along a path.
Immigrate is the movement into a country.
Both are correct, it would just be a choice of which point of view you wish to emphasize. The moving or the moving in to the country.

I believe that either would be appropriate. For the purpose of your sentence, the two words can be used interchangably.
Like: My family migrated to the United States.
Or: My family immigrated to the United States.
They both sound OK.

Migrate is to move from a region to another. Immigrate is from a country to another.

"migrate- (of people) move from one place of abode to another, esp. , in a different country
immigrate-come as a permanent resident to a country other than one's native land..."
Either way is correct, according to the smart boys...
